Reincarnated In Another World With The Ability To Create A Modern Country 19 19. First Naval Battle

It has been 3 days since the refurbishment of the 3 ships, today I am in the Yamato battleship I'm doing an inspection today on the ships to see their new performance. All of the ships are now nuclear powered making them able to operate longer on the sea without refueling. They only have to refill their ammunition and food. Water is not a problem as the ships have water filtration systems.

The Bismarck has been equipped with Anti Ship Missile (AShM). It will be a devastating weapon on the battlefield. The Iowa and Yamato battleship were equipped with FCS making their accuracy higher. They are also put with AA guns that also have FCS.

After my inspection today I decided to summon some destroyers, as Dominic recommended it to me and saying they were very important in a naval fleet. I immediately summoned still WW2 Destroyers as they are cheap than modern destroyers.

When looking at the list of destroyers, I was surprised as most of the recommended ships were from the Imperial j.a.panese Navy during WW2. I browsed the list for more ships, as I read all the details of the ships, in the list, I compared it to the recommended IJN ships and was surprised to know, that the j.a.panese ships were bigger than the other ships. I came to realize that the system was trying to help me. But I choose a ship through toss coin as I am not an expert on them. I immediately summoned some of the recommended WW2 ships. Looking at the ships I can now see why the j.a.panese was one of the most powerful and feared navies during WW2.

I summoned the 2 Mutsuki cla.s.s destroyers, and 2 Minekazi cla.s.s destroyers. I immediately ordered the engineering team to refurbish the 4 ships. I used the items that I bought that increases the speed of upgrading the ships. This time it took only 1 day as they were smaller than the first 3 ships.

I immediately went back to my office after the inspection. I was very tired after walking too much around the ships. I was reading the report of the various department that helps me run the country. There was a mountain of them which made me think being a leader of a country is hard. I always hated reading if it isn't entertainment, I read all them, one of the report was about the people who wanted to get married.

I was thinking of allowing lawyers to actually conduct a marriage ceremony.

I also read a report about the fishing boats were already ready for operation, which I was quite happy about. I never thought that they could ma.s.s-produce a lot of them in such a short time. Now I don't need to use GCS to buy kinds of seafood.

But I don't want to put my people in danger just for fishing. I wasn't sure if the sea is safe from monsters, I know that Jones said the seas surrounding the island is filled with monsters.

I immediately smiled and said to myself " I can finally use those ships earlier than expected ". I was excited as I have never seen a naval battle before. I can finally see it in real life, not just in movies. I immediately held a meeting with General Joey and the new appointed Admiral Jobert, and also the leaders.

I started to start my plans in front of them " as you know we already have finished producing fishing boats, we know that those fishing boats are great a.s.sets for the new city, as they would not worry about food to sustain the population. But there is still a problem like our problem on the surface, the sea is infested with monsters. Which would put our people in danger if they go out to catch food. So I propose to also do an operation against those monsters."

All of the leaders actually agreed on doing the operation, as they saw the importance of the sea to us. I immediately started the operation the next day as the 4 new ships was already finished with their upgrade, but admiral Jobert didn't allow it, as we still need to prepare a plan as we don't know the capabilities of the monster.

Finally, the day has come, 7 ships left the shipyards at exactly 0500 hours, I was in the Yamato Battleship I was admiring the view of the ships cruising at the speed of 33 knots ( 61.1 km/hour, 38.0 mph). I was on the deck during that time, I decided to go to the bridge to meet with Admiral Jobert.

Admiral Jobert's plan was to locate the monsters and bombard them with their main guns at their maximum range with the help of FCS. He wants to know how strong the sea monsters really are. He was curious if the Yamato's 9x46 cm Type 94 guns were effective against the monsters, or the Iowa's 9x16 ( 406 mm) guns which use proximity fuze sh.e.l.ls, are the one who is effective against the monsters.

We are already traveling for 3 hours we have seen nothing but the vast ocean. I was already getting bored waiting for some action, I was starting to get hungry so I went to go to the mess hall of the ship to get some grub.

At one of Minekaze destroyer which had anti-submarine equipment, a man looking at the radar of the ship noticed something and immediately reported it to the captain. "Sir we have detected something", the radar showed a single dot but after a few moments, the dots increased to 8. The captain immediately reported the situation through radio to the flagship Yamato, " Admiral we have detected 8 underwater boogies approaching us at a speed of 12 knots." Jobert immediately ordered them to intercept the things with torpedoes.

The destroyer immediately launched a torpedo intercepting the closest " thing " underwater, everyone in the ship was tense as they were listening to the man who is looking at the radar, " 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Impact!" the seawater was an explosion happened immediately raise about 8 feet in the air. The area turned into a red color after that. Seeing these Jobert immediately asked the fleet to kill all the " things" that were approaching them. 7 more underwater explosion happened after that one of the destroyers checked what were the "things" they killed. The sailors immediately looked down at the seawater, he immediately noticed a snake-like a body floating which was almost the same length as the Minekaze destroyer. The sailors immediately told his superiors that it was a giant eel.

After hearing this report Jobert immediately ordered the destroyers to look for more as they continued to hunt for these monsters. They also spotted a shark Dariel was in the bridge and was looking at the binoculars. Dariel spoke to Jobert unintentionally " That's a lot of Megalodon Sharks can you kill them". Jobert immediately proudly replied, " We can as we are Sir Dariel's navy the rulers of the sea, a giant shark can't stop us".

Good then ma.s.sacre all of those sharks, show them why they are an instinct in the modern world, teach those things to fear.

"Yes sir", Jobert immediately ordered to eliminate 24 sharks which they saw. The more underwater explosion occurred. The once blue sea turned into crimson red, debris which were made up by parts of the shark floated in the ocean. That was easy "said Jobert ".

As the ships were going to move forward with their hunt a warning suddenly appeared on all the ships even the Yamato and Iowa warning lights turned on pa.s.sively, the people a.s.signed on monitoring the radar where all surprised at the giant blimp on the radar approaching the fleet. 2 more giant blimps immediately appeared. All the ships reported to the flagship that they detected 3 big "monsters" approaching at their sides.

Jobert immediately ordered all the men to go to their battle stations. All of them are nervous but excited at both. As they can finally have a proper naval battle.

As the unknown monsters closely reached the range of the main guns of the ships, Jobert immediately ordered to open fire at the monsters. All of the sh.e.l.ls that they fired accurately hit the unknown monsters, because of the FCS the Yamato dealt devastating damage to one of the monsters, which force it to surface it's heads to the surface. Dariel immediately yelled " Hydras ".

After hearing Dariels yell Jobert immediately ordered to fire at the Hydras 5 heads while it was still on the surface, the Yamato's 6 9x46cm guns immediately spew smoke and fire. Hitting the five heads, while the 1 sh.e.l.l fired by the Yamato struck the body. Jobert immediately ordered his men to use explosive sh.e.l.ls while the Hydra wasn't regenerating its head. If he knew one thing about stopping regeneration is that when cells are burned regeneration will be impossible.

The Yamato fired the explosive sh.e.l.ls only 2 managed two hits this time as the Hydra was moving too much, the FCS was recalculating the movement of the Hydra. The Yamato has also finished reloading the explosive sh.e.l.ls. The gunner immediately fired the guns after the FCS finished recalculating. This time they hit the Hydra's 3 headless head forcing it not to regenerate as the cells are already burned. They notice that the body is still moving but was not attacking. Jobert immediately ordered the gunner to completely destroy the body of the Hydra as it was creepy and didn't like it. More sh.e.l.ls were fired by Yamato this time targeting the body. They didn't miss this time as it was bigger than the head.

The Iowa was fighting the other hydra which, It managed to end the Hydra quickly that it faced as the proximity fuze was actually very deadly to it as it detonates an explosive device when the distance of the target becomes smaller than a predetermined value. Automatically burning the Hydras Cells when coming in contact with the heads.

After seeing this Dariel immediately realized that the other ships must also use proximity fuze sh.e.l.ls. The last Hydra showed fear and started to run away from the fleet. Dariel ordered Jobert to chase it, the ships chased the Hydra which led them into a part where typhoons and storms form. Dariel showed a smiled after seeing where the Hydra led them.

Jobert asked Dariel why is he smiling Dariel's replied " the Hydra lead us to the entrance and exit of this island. If we continue forward the nest of sea monsters can be located. If more monsters are on the other side of this storm. It is the reason why no one managed to step on the island. Which mean I can level up quickly if we ma.s.sacre every monster that comes in our way. "

Jobert was scratching his head as he didn't know what level up meant to dariel. But he didn't question him anymore, after knowing the monsters were on the other side of the storm which meant the subjugation would be easier to be done.
